"SNIP..........
President Biden is privately pushing for a much more aggressive approach to 2024: Go for Donald Trumps jugular, Axios reports.
Biden is convinced hell rattle Trump if he taunts him daily.
Biden has told friends he thinks Trump is wobbly, both intellectually and emotionally, and will explode if Biden mercilessly gigs and goads him go haywire in public, as one adviser put it.
Other sources tell us that Biden is looking for a fight.
............SNIP"

(7,874 posts)the Georgia difference...Biden's is traveling to Atlanta, one of the most populated multi-ethnic/multicultural/diverse/inclusive cities in the US, where he will give a speech at the Ebenezer Baptist Church... and Trump is doing one of his whine/Nazi/victim garbled mush mouth blah blah blah rallies in Rome, Georgia, home to Marjorie Taylor Greene, and where whites outnumber blacks 2-1..

Joe knows TSF has a fragile ego and will capitalize on it.

(7,480 posts)I do not beleive that traditional campaign strategy will work. Trump's voters are not being driven by traditional reasons, and those voters abandoning Biden are likewise not driven by traditional forces. Biden's campaign must be aggressive, persistent, and relentless.
Trump must become an omnipresent laughing stock.

Bernardo de La Paz
(49,073 posts)By goading tRump into self-destruction, Biden can let him make mistakes and stay out of the way of the collapse.
100% endorsement of your last sentence, with the additional proviso that tRump must be made an eternal object lesson in the dangers of the forces attacking democracy.

(49,073 posts)tRump has never won a popular vote, not in 2016, 2018 (midterms), 2020, 2020 again (Senators from Georgia), and 2022 (pinked the red wave).

(2,548 posts)Please, President Biden...call him a RAPIST every chance you get. Not only because it's true, but it could help you considerably with the female vote.

(12,515 posts)why not mention his Apprentice TV show producer saw his drug use;

Also, have a reporter ask Trump if his wife is going to start selling her porno clips as NFT's in addition to his Air Nazi sneakers.
Drag him and his clan into the gutter where they belong.
Bernardo de La Paz
(49,073 posts)There is no need to get lost in the weeds of allegations and counters.
Taunt tRump with obvious solid facts. There are so many to use. The technique is to make an outrageous conjecture to get attention and get under his skin so he reacts and then the media will have to say "Well, actually, there is a fact behind this" and play some clip of tRump being deplorable.
* Bankruptcies - so many of them. Taunt with lines like "tRump will declare bankruptcy after he loses the election and it will be bigger than all four previous ones combined. Or is it six?"
* "When fake christian tRump attempts to read the bible he corrects passages with a big marker." Pure conjecture reminds viewers of fact that tRump used upside down bible as prop.
* Against school vaxes: "tRump wants to cripple public school children with polio because their parents vote Democratic." The anti-vax (mandate) stance is factual. The taunt can be pure conjecture if the foundation is factual.
* "Ugly billionaire has to hire sex workers to cheat on his wife."
* Sexual predator: "Gonna buy another teen beauty pageant so he can tour the dressing room?"

Naturally, if Team Biden wants to gather some ideas, I'd suggest DU would be an excellent place to start. We've been mocking Fat Hitler since before mocking Fat Hitler was cool.

continues to tell his followers how he's going to kick Obama out of the White House.

I've been noticing an increasing focus in the media about tfs' gaffes, his incompetence, his slurring, and I cant help but think it's part of a campaign, a strategy on the part of Biden's team (and it's true...).
An excellent counterbalance to all the handwringing over Joe's age.
Who the hell cares how "old" Joe is, if he's competent?
So what tfs is a mere 4 years younger...HE'S INCOMPETENT!

(4,452 posts)And send as many proxies on the attack as you can, too. And tell all the dipshits in our party in Congress who are protesting Biden to get the fuck on board, yesterday. And start calling out the media 24/7 for their anti-Biden, anti-Democratic, anti-liberal bias in reporting.

(1,881 posts)Prez Biden's "friends" and mysterious unnamed "sources," are blabbing private convos to the media? I have a hard time imagining Prez Biden saying he wants to go for the oozing sore's jugular. Good luck to anyone trying to cut through his blubbery neckgina, or even locating his jugular.
Next we'll have "Real White House Wives of DC," with salacious gossip and melodramatic meltdowns, as if there's not enough from irresponsible media already.
Fighting him and the MAGAts is obvious.
